essayists

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'writers?' is the definition.
(I know this)

'having seconds for every line somehow i'll yell' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'seconds' could be 'ss' (an abbreviation for seconds written twice) and 'ss' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for essayists that I've seen before include "They write" , "Writers on various subjects" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
